The storms of life come and go. We can sit in fear huddled in a corner as when a tornado or hurricane is on its way or we can trust that our God will carry us through even though we think there will never be an end. While sitting in a hospital on a dark stormy night I was reminded of all the storms that the Lord has brought me through and wrote the following.

The wind hollers, the windows shudder
Even the curtains begin to sway
The temperature is dipping, the air makes me shiver
As the cold of winter demands its time

There was a season in my life
When the wind’s voice could make me quake
I dreaded the drama of lightning and thunder
And bitter cold permeated deep into my being

But I learned to be quiet, to sit, to listen
To my God’s calm reassuring whisper
Relaxing in His words echoed in the wind,
In His might and power on dark stormy nights.

Somehow in the unsurety of
This chaotic, crazy stressful world
What once created a heart full of fear
Now brings a sense of comfort and peace

It now reminds me that God controls
The heavens and the earth, the winds and the rains.
And at long last I can sleep restfully and be still
Being fully assured that He is God
